Retro Ken is a bot for automating your retrospectives with your team. It is based on the awesome slack-ruby-bot.
To get up and running off your local machine, just add a new bot, then run
SLACK_API_TOKEN=my-token-from-slack RACK_ENV=production rackup config.ru -p 24558Ken expects there to be no more than one Retrospective being referenced at any point. An advantage of this is you can interact with the same retrospective in either one large chat, or via DMs to Ken.
Either speak to Ken publicly with @retro-ken, or you can leave this out when speaking to him in a DM.

- Directionless company branding anon
